Aliza Z: Experiencing dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control

This story was submitted to Kindara by Aliza Z.

My
periods have always been irregular, difficult to manage, and all around
rough. I was placed on "the pill" as a teen for suspected PCOS to help
manage my periods, but that basically made my cycle nonexistent for
quite some time (months at a time!), then a small flow, and back to
nothing. I had a blood clot in my leg, and had to take a
break from the pill. A second episode of clots, this time, multiple
clots in my legs and in my lung, confirmed that the pill would not ever be a safe option for me.

I
began using Kindara and tracking my cycles with basal body temperature,
and also using more "natural" items for my period - my diva cup, which I
love! I have had much more regular periods, and using the charts in
Kindara, I can actually predict when my cycle is going to start, most of
the time with pretty good accuracy. I love using Kindara and the
information it gives me about my body. I can't imagine doing things any
other way now!
